Volourn will be Volourn. At times he says something profound. Other times he posts absolute dribble. So, he is pretty much like any other poster except he has his style. Actually that thread I made was to ask is there anything substantial added. Adding a Z axis would be something substantial over NWN 1 and since that was something everybody knows about I used that as an example. Unfortunately people got fixated on it and well, for my part so did I. I didn't meant it to be the focus however. Really.

And your point? A tighter story is not always a good thing. Also that wasn't a problem with Fallout or Baldur's Gate.

THen we are playing the designer's character and not our own.

The pregenerated character aspect of Planescape Torment was the only thing I really hated in that game.

Of course if you play them now on max settings the battles are over before they even begun. HAHAHA! I do have to say the number one thing that irks me with today's game the easiness. I have been going through some of the old games of late such as Fallout and PST and playing them along side NWN and KotOR2 and the difference is mind boggling. Making a stealthboy type in Fallout 2 you can still get yourself killed very easily in the beginning areas of the game if you don't play smart while playing a stealthboy sentinel in KotOR 2 I could kill those droids in the opening areas with one hit with a vibrosword. These are the same droids that supposedly took out a bunch of miners. Something is defeintely wrong with that picture.

Well, most people who bring those items up aren't game developers. All they see is a 3D game trapped in a 2D environment.

What I would like in a CRPG? Lets draw from other games as an examples. Where it comes to story complexity I would like to see more games like Planescape Torment made. Where it comes to tactical combat and varied options I like to see a merger of ToEE and Fallout. Not necessarily turn base as those two games but it allows me that levelof control and options for my entire party. As for environment interaction and game physics, Silent Storm would be good to draw from. Lastly when it comes to character customization and building the d20 System or a classless-levelless version of it would be nice. Oh and most importantly the game needs to be a challenge while focuses on my characters' abilities and not my own. In other words presented in a traditional fashion and not action oriented.

Well, there hasn't been much need for tactical thinking in the recent rash of CRPGs for the most part. KotOR 1, NWN 1, KotOR 2, and the such have just been too easy to begin with. Why use tactics when you are only facing critters that die when you sneeze on them?

Its not a dead horse til the game is released.

Oh, I made some posts in the Mass Effect forum as well, Volourn. I think tha tit is a particular big whoop. There are just some things that a game released nowadays should have. A z axis is one of them. Online Multiplayer is another.

Vash, because she is dead.

Well, the fanboys jumped down my case which is to be expected. being the weekend the higher ups didn't make an appearance, but I am sure I would have been abnned again on the spot. Bioware peeps can sure hold a grudge.

Blarg?

We could move the Wailing Wall to Arizona.

And Toledo.

Oh, common now. There are plenty of other holy cities you can put your soul at.

We can't nuke the whole earth. Its where I keep my stuff.

Agreed. If they can't play nice then lets take the ball away and have them sit in a corner for a time out.

No, it isn't. I hate snow.

MASCOT! Oh, wait, that's Darkside. Um... DANCING GIRL!

Oh boy, another list. 1. Fallout 2. Planescape Troment 3. Fallout 2 4. Ultima 4 5. Baldur's Gate

Well, the fanboys over their are just as rabid and the forums are just as slow. No real imrpovement since the last time I was there. Bioware peeps need to really grow up some.

That is simple to fix. When that error pops up put in disc 1 and hit try again. It will read the file from Disc 1 then ask for Disc 3. You will more than likely have to repeat it with disc 3 and 4.

So?

I liked Richard Pryor.
